Caboclinho

The musical instruments are the harmonica (whistle flute or fife), two zinc or tin maracas and a zinc surdo (bass drum) covered with goat leather on both sides. Preacas are bow and arrow-shaped marking instruments, producing a dry sound, in harmony with the deaf; also the whistle for the caboclos in front, who pull the cord, both men and women. The rhythms are perré (or toré), Guerra and Baião, the former being slower.
